Codec comparison - update

Sat Nov 29, 2014 1:35 am

This is my personal update of this site: http://www.bandicam.com/support/tips/best-codec/.

So I made some recordings with the different codecs, with 100% Quality, 30 FPS, 1 Minute recording:

Rectangle Screen Recording ( 1024x768 ):
RGB24: 4,01 GB

YV12: 1,99 GB (Somehow Windows Media Player isn't able to even play this file...)

Motion JPEG: 650 MB

MPEG-1: 6,87 MB

Xvid: 5,77 MB

H.264 CUDA: 5,65 MB

H.264 NVENC: 4,66 MB

Recording 1 Minute of a Movie (with directX / OpenGL window recording) ( 1024x576 ):

RGB24: 2,96 GB

YV12: 1,48 GB

Motion JPEG: 284 MB

MPEG-1: 32,1 MB

Xvid: 37,2 MB

H.264 CUDA: 46,7 MB

H.264 NVENC: 40,7 MB
[Just telling, in my opinion h.264 had the worst quality of them all]
(Except for the RGB24, YV12 and the H.264 codec, this is nearly the same as on the Website.)

With directx applications the file size will vary greatly game to game, recording to recording.
